Biography
Van Leeuwen lived in the Netherlands, South Africa, Australia and has been residing in the United States since 2000. He is currently working as a professor in the Department of Civil, Construction and Environmental Engineering at Iowa State University in Ames, Iowa. Together with Balaji Narasimhan, he was given a Vlasta Klima Balloun Professorship at Iowa State University.
Education
Research
His research includes the recovery of byproducts from liquid wastes and sludges, fungal treatment of food processing wastewater, and reuse applications of residues from water softening. He has several patents to his name. He has developed processes for creating new products at ethanol plants, purifying alcohol, and keeping exotic species out of coastal waters through disinfestation of ballast water with bromine production through ozonation.
He has focused his attention on making added-value products from crops, including animal feed, food, ethanol and purer potable alcohol. He developed a new animal feed, potentially a new human food source, by developing a process for cultivating fungi on corn processing leftovers being commercialized. His ozonation process disinfestates ships' ballast waters of feral species to avoid introduction into coastal waters by shipping and has been applied on oil tankers.
